自信也能“坐”出来

        "People assume their confidence is coming from their own thoughts. They don't realize their posture is affecting how much they believe in what they're thinking."

　　“人们通常都认为他们的自信是源于他们内在的想法，他们没有意识到，其实他们的姿势影响着他们对自己的想法抱有多少自信。”

　　The findings are similar to those in a previous study that found that people who nodded their heads had more confidence in their thoughts than those who shook their heads back and forth.

　　这项研究的发现与之前的一项研究结果十分相似，那些在说话时频频点头的人，比那些在说话时来回摇头的人，对自己的想法显示出了更多的自信。

　　In a similar experiment involving different students, "participants didn't report feeling more confident in the upright position than they did in the slouched position, even though those in the upright position did report more confidence in the thoughts they generated," Petty said.

　　在一项相似的研究中，另外一群不同的学生接受试验。贝蒂说，“尽管这些参与实验的学生在他们处于直立姿势时，确实可以更有自信的控制自己的想法，但是这些学生却没有向我们报告说，他们在坐直的时候比懒散的坐着有更多自信。”
